33 1/3 CLASSIC ALBUM LISTENING SESSION
A TRIBE CALLED QUEST – MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS, 1993, Jive Records, 51min12sec
Please note that this is not a concert but a listening-session!
3rd ATCQ album and to many it is their best!
Q-tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed and Jarobi White take you along on a trip through their everyday world that covers both racial inequality and sexual tension but also a trip to a bodega or ordering a milkshake.
With singles like Electric Relaxation, Award Tour and Oh My God (in which Phife sings for the first time about his diabetes), the album is one that is generally considered to be one of the leading hip-hop albums of the last decades, by one of the most important hip-hop bands of last century.
The cover is a ‘who’s who’ of the hip hop scene in 1993 and is often compared with St Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The album will be introduced (in Flemish) by Sasha Van der Speeten, music journalist for De Standaard, radio-maker for FM Brussel and ATCQ fan from the start.
